Hilltop Lodge

Statistically, home is the place you're most likely to fall asleep under a running lawn mower or spontaneously combust while trying to slow dance with a running lawn mower. Find a safe haven with today's Groupon: for $135, you get a one-night stay in a redwood cabin and meals for two at Hilltop Lodge Rochester (a $275 value). Diners may order any entree on the lodge's dinner menu and may upgrade to the lobster or new york strip streak for an additional fee.

During scenic sabbaticals, guests receive two complimentary meals inside the authentic redwood lodge—breakfast and dinner. A hot soup and freshly prepared salad perform a commencement ceremony for a three-course dinner that includes entrees from the Hilltop menu, such as chicken parmesan, broiled haddock, and charbroiled pork chops. Although not included with today's deal, diners can top off meals by sipping a glass of wine, chugging a premium beer ($3 each), or by drinking ice water out of a top hat.

Hilltop Lodge

Among rock gardens, stone pathways, and the old-growth forests of the Allegheny Mountains, Hilltop Lodge's redwood cabins proffer comfortable rooms near breathtaking nature. Sitting 2,217 feet above sea level, the cabins house two full-size beds and private bathrooms, while providing overnighters with access to private campfire areas. Inside the redwood lodge, built in 1928, chefs whip up Italian specialties, seafood, and hearty cuts of meat to refuel stomachs after days of golfing at nearby greens, exploring the outdoors, or duct-taping broken branches back onto trees.

During visits, travelers can enjoy Allegany County attractions—including fishing, hunting, and horseback riding—read books on the stone patio, or meander through the rock garden bordering Hilltop's pond, reciting poetry or reading the contents of cereal boxes aloud. Before departing, travelers can stop by the gnome-themed gift shop, which allows customers to take a bit of forest magic back home.
